My parents have limited income with growing out of pocket medical expenses for my father. Mother is currently in hospice at home care.
I would like to help my father apply for SNAP and HEAP assistance. And perhaps Mediciad community insurance. However, I have a lot on my plate with my own work schedule, own family, and also POA for my uncle on Mediciad Long Term.
Do you recommend utilizing any proffesional attorneys or just use the county assisted help lines for this type of assistance? Can anyone provide advise or guidance with this type of assistance. Thanks in advance.
These are all means tested programs which means if your parents make too much money or have too many assets like properties and accounts with lots of money, they won't qualify. But like I said it doesn't hurt or cost anything to apply, the worst they can say is no.
